Translation of Graph-based Knowledge Representation in Multi-agent System

AbstractAgents provide a feasible mean for maintaining and manipulating large scale data. This paper deals with the problem of information exchange between different agents. It uses graph based formalism for the representation of knowledge maintained by an agent and graph transformations as a mean of knowledge exchange. Such a rigorous formalism ensures the cohesion of graph-based knowledge held by agents after each modification and exchange action. The approach presented in this paper is illustrated by a case study dealing with the problem of personal data held in different places (maintained by different agents) and the process of transmitting such information.11Financial support for this study was provided from resources of National Center for Research and Development, the grant number NCBiR 0021/R/ID2/2011/01
